Lot 354: A Set of Hand-Coloured Sporting Engravings with Aquatint
A set of 19th-century hand-coloured intaglio prints, likely engravings with aquatint, depicting various sporting scenes. The compositions feature figures in period dress and gun dogs situated within rural landscapes. Each print exhibits a distinct plate mark and includes text in the lower margin, although the specific artist and publisher attributions cannot be confirmed due to legibility. The works are characterised by the use of tonal aquatint and precise engraved lines, enhanced by hand-colouring. The collection is housed in matching glazed wooden frames with cream-coloured mounts.
Dimensions: Not recorded.
Condition report:
